History

Haijian 84 () was a China Marine Surveillance (CMS) cutter in the 8th Marine Surveillance Flotilla of the South China Sea Fleet. She was commissioned on May 8, 2011 and was stationed in Guangzhou. On October 25, 2012, Haijian 84 entered Philippine claimed Chinese territory near Huangyan lsland. On July 2013, when the China Marine Surveillance was merged into the China Coast Guard, ''Haijian 84'' was transferred to the China Coast Guard and renamed to ''Hai'an'', her pennant number changing to 3184 (later changed again to 5103 between 2017 and 2022). In 2017 the ''Hai'an'' responded to a hostage situation by pirates, rescuing 17 Chinese fishermen. On 18 August 2022 the ''Hai'an'' rescued a Vietnamese fisherman which had fallen overboard. The fisherman was later handed to the Vietnam Coast Guard search and rescue tug CSB 9003. On 24 January 2025, ''Hai'an'' assisted in preventing a Philippine incursion in Sandy Cay. On 31 January 2025 ''Hai'an'' and several other China Coast Guard cutters including '' Nansha'' conducted patrols in the South China Sea.
